Step 1
Mix cream cheese and 1 tbsp sugar until smooth. Spread onto 2 bread slices, then top with sliced strawberries. Sandwich with remaining bread slices.
Step 2
Whisk eggs with 1 tbsp sugar and 1/4 cup milk (or water) in a shallow bowl until well combined.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it sizzles. Dip both sides of each sandwich into egg mixture for 3 seconds per side.
Step 4
Place sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy outside, with warm custard inside.
Step 5
While French toast cooks, whip cold heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Transfer French toast to plates, top with whipped cream and mixed berries, and serve immediately.
